The company Aktiv"" on December 12, 2023 announced the start of sales of the software product Rutoken VCR (Virtual Card Reader) 3001. This application allows you to make iPhone a full-fledged reader for working with Rutoken devices that support the technology. With NFC Rutoken VCR 3001, you can sign documents for electronically signed or tablets iPad and with. computers iMac MacBook processor Apple Silicon

Device users can sign electronic documents on iPads or iMac and MacBook computers using a smart card or Rutoken EDS 3.0 token, using any iPhone as an NFC reader.

Tokens and smart cards of the Rutoken EDS 3.0 NFC line, which can work through a contactless interface, are suitable for signing documents on mobile devices. However, the iPad tablets do not have the ability to work via the NFC protocol, so for such devices the Aktiv Company has developed a fundamentally different product that allows you to sign electronic documents on the iPad, where you can use the iPhone as an NFC reader.

VCR Rutoken can be downloaded from the AppStore and used for free for 7 days. Next, you will need to purchase a license for each device on which the application will be installed and with which documents will be signed on the iPad or Mac.

After the release of Rutoken media with support for work through a contactless interface, we began to receive questions about how to sign electronic documents on Mac and iPad devices. We solved this problem by developing our own solution. Rutoken VCR is perfect for self-employed, individual entrepreneurs or managers who are often on the road, but at the same time experience the need to coordinate and sign various documents on the road, said Nikita Demin, Head of Smart Cards and Readers at Aktiv.
